Power Management
Remote power and chassis management
Using the MergePoint SP manager, you may view the power status and the status of the chassis
indicator LED (if available) on managed target devices, manage power and turn the LED on and off
remotely. You may also initiate cold reset and self test operations on certain types of target devices.
The effects of Power Off and Power Cycle commands differ among service processor vendors. For
a hard power command, power is turned off immediately, while a soft command shuts down the
operating system before powering down. If a service processor provides more than one of the
options, the MergePoint SP manager performs the hard power option by default.
The options for the reset command also differ, and are defined as warm reset and cold boot. For a
warm reset, only the operating system is restarted while a cold boot issues a power cycle command.
In cases where both options are available, the MergePoint SP manager will use cold boot.
NOTE: In addition, for Dell 10G target devices, you can view power tracking statistics and peak statistics by
clicking Power Monitoring.
To view and control the power status:

Graceful Shutdown, Power Reset, Power Cycle and Soft Reset.
